The New York Mets are making waves with their trade deadline moves, and the latest involves outfielder Tommy Pham. Reports from SNY indicate that the Mets have traded Pham to the Arizona Diamondbacks. 


In exchange, the Diamondbacks are said to be sending over shortstop prospect Jeremy Rodriguez, although no official confirmation has been made by either team regarding this transaction.


This trade marks the fifth occasion during this deadline that the Mets have bid farewell to a seasoned player. Notable names such as closer David Robertson, outfielder Mark Canha, and pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander have also found new homes as the Mets reshuffle their lineup.

What was initially a season with World Series aspirations took a different turn, prompting the Mets to shift their focus to strengthening their farm system by embracing the selling strategy.


Tommy Pham, aged 35, joined the Mets in the recent offseason under a one-year contract worth $6 million. Originally envisioned as a platoon batter and fourth outfielder, Pham's performance led him to secure a spot in the everyday lineup.

He boasts an impressive .268/.348/.472 slash line and has managed to launch 10 home runs. Known for his impressive exit velocities and commendable contact rates, Pham has been a standout player in the Statcast realm.

Our pre-deadline evaluations positioned Pham as the 20th most sought-after trade candidate. Here's our detailed analysis:

Pham's year began slowly but blossomed into a remarkable performance, marked by potent hitting and excellent zone control. While he'd ideally serve as a platoon choice in an optimal scenario, it's noteworthy that he's displaying his finest form against right-handed pitchers since 2018. As a free agent after this season, Pham represents a true rental player.

This marks Pham's third appearance in a deadline trade, with last year marking the second consecutive season he was traded mid-season. In 2018, the St. Louis Cardinals dispatched him to the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Cincinnati Reds moved him to the Boston Red Sox during last year's deadline.


In the midseason update from Baseball America, Rodriguez doesn't secure a spot among Arizona's top 30 prospects. The 17-year-old's performance in the rookie Dominican Summer League this year showcases a .256/.371/.393 batting line, along with two home runs across 36 games.
